my technical review for ubuntu

  • April 19, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
ubuntu is my first experience with linux so far,I liked the user experience when using the GUI, it was outstanding and I didn't expected it to be this easy and smooth, another thing here for me coming from windows is that I'm not forced to use any antivirus to work safe on my computer.
What do you dislike about the product?
till now ubuntu is still not satisfying me with gaming, all linux I think, however there is interesing games that are playable on ubuntu, but I'm still missing the awesome games on windows.

another issue that I think ubuntu still missing is the app store, I can tell that ubuntu will be more powerful with more bigger app store that offer easy way to download the apps instead of using the terminal and synaptic which is still scary for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my work field (telecommunication) ubuntu is the most common used between my colleges around the world as it support lot of advanced application that serve in the field.

ubuntu is also free and this is the most hidden useful feature I can discuss, no need to take care of licensed usage of operating systems
Recommendations to others considering the product:
ubuntu is the right OS if you are looking for a system that serve your specific advanced work need, you may miss the games, but you will be more productive

Great OS for development and server build

What do you like best about the product?
I really like up-to-date software in official repositories. This linux distribution is the most stable one with a huge community, which provides a fast bug tracking and fixing. I also like how is easy is to set up a dev environment on ubuntu, official repos have latest versions of compilers and server software so all in nearly out-of-the box.
What do you dislike about the product?
As all linux OSs, we still don't have any nice graphical editor like Photoshop, gimp does not make the same work, so we still have to create VMs with windows to work with software like PS. Also they should increase the amount of drivers for GPUs and make an easy way to install them
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using linux as development PC OS, because it gives a nice fundament for developers to work on. Easy local server setup and full control.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to set up a local dev environment in web development - Ubuntu is a best choice because of its stability, reliability and amazing power of linux core.

Working with web development, and I think the super optimized for development system, easy installation of the tools I need.

Web development server. I run it inside virtualbox

Ubuntu Experience

  • March 15, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the interface the most. Clean, intuitive, beautiful. Unlike certain OS based in Redmond. Ubuntu also has great community supports. Not all of them are nice, though. You got to do your homework by master the terms used before spitting too basic question which can easily be answered by search engines.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the quick release cycle. Having to reinstall and reconfiguring everything every six months is just too much. Fortunately, Ubuntu has the special versions called LTS (Long Term Support) which released once every two years with five years of active support. If you're insto stable system, just go with LTS versions. But if you like the up-to-date-ness, regular release would fit you better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I solve the huge cost of software licenses and the threat of malwares from certain OS. By using Ubuntu, I don't have to worry about security and data inconsistencies (due to malware infections).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you depend on some softwares that are Windows-only, you still can try to tun them using WINE compatibility layer. Basically, an emulator for Windows. But remember that WINE is not perfect and there's no guarantee that your softwares can run at all.

Ubuntu at university environment

  • February 29, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The security and the desktop user friendliness are the key advantages of Ubuntu. We are using Ubuntu for most of our server environments and for Desktop on some of our client workstations, including University center and a bank institution.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only problem we encountered is the incompatibility with other Linux distributions because of the Ubuntu politics. For example, Ubuntu is using Mir instead of Wayland.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have lowed the IT costs and increased our security. Also, LxC and Docker works very well inside Ubuntu. The main developers of Linux Containers are from Ubuntu!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu has a Long Time Support version (LTS) which comes one in two years and is supported for six years. It fits well into the enterprise plannings and provides good stability!

Ubuntu as a Desktop as well as as a server

  • February 11, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Open-Source (and free), with all I need to work, surf the web, play media, etc. It is really lightweight and fast, even with older computers which seem not to be powerfull enough to do anything anymore.
It is always up-to-date and really easy to maintain.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much (which is why I use it) ! It may be hard to install on some computer, so you have to check before buying one.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For business, I use it to develop, design and deploy websites. It contains out-of-the-box most of the needed software.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just do it ! If you're afraid to switch completely, try first with a live-cd, it is 100% free and won't make any change to your computer !
